What Is Miss Hazuda Reading?

I had a great week reading this week. Had a lot of great choices. I'm still in shock though that it's already July. Trying to enjoy every moment of vacation. Hope you all are as well.

On 7/1 my #bookaday was The Dandelion's Tale by Kevin Sheehan. Click here for a summary on Goodreads.This is a great book about friendship. I will never look at a dandelion the same way again. 

On 7/2 my #bookaday is Unplugged: Ella Gets Her Family Back by Laura Pederson. Click here for a summary on Goodreads. This book is a great reminder to sometimes put the electronics away. 
More and more we are consumed by all of our electronics. We sometimes need to just put them down and reconnect with family. 

My #bookaday on 7/3 was What We Found In The Sofa And How It Saved The World by Henry Clark. It's a Black-Eyed Susan Award nominee for Grades 4-6. This is a mixture of adventure and science fiction. I can't wait to see what the kids think about this book next year.

On 7/4 my #bookaday was My Country 'Tis of Thee: How One Song Reveals The History of Civil Rights by Claire Rudolf Murphy. Great book! We will have it at HES soon. I was really amazed at this book. I never realized how many different versions of the song there has been over the years.

My #bookaday on 7/5 was The Highest Number In The World by Roy MacGregor. This is a great ice hockey story about a girl & her grandmother. I always love family stories. This one was neat because it had a girl playing a nontraditional sport. I also like the little bit of ice hockey history that this book provided.

I had two books for #bookaday on 7/6. The first is a chapter book Countdown by Deborah Wiles. Great historical fiction book for 4-5 Grade. I just loved this text. I didn't used to be a fan of historical fiction but when I came to realize was I was just reading the wrong books. I'm really looking forward to reading the next book in this trilogy, Revolution. The picture on the cover below isn't the same as the one that is at the library. My 2nd #bookaday is a picture book Rooting For You by Susan Hood. Great story about a seed that grows into a flower. It's a fiction book. This is such a fun book. I love books that have pages that open bigger.

On 7/7 my #bookaday was Captain Awesome vs. Nacho Cheese Man by Stan Kirby. Great early chapter book for 2nd-3rd Grades. This is the second in the An awesome series. It's a fun series that I think boys and girls will both like.

I'm still waiting for more Take a BOOK on Vacation pictures. I can't wait to see all the great places our HES students can be found reading this summer.

Happy Reading!!
